The key is to aim for an almost-wet look, not a full-on mound of goo. You can get this effect with an eyegloss or even occasionally with certain cream eyeshadows (like this one), but the easiest way to go about this? Mix some vaseline or a clear lipgloss with and eyeshadow of your choice and then layer it on very very thinly until you get a slightly dewy finish. Oh, ad make sure to use an eyeshadow base or primer (like any of these). This will also help keep it from running down your face later. So key.

Do you ever wear your lids glossy? If so, what little tricks have you figured out along the way? Spill!
